No joke, this is exactly what LLMs will do if they can't do something directly.

This is why I told some colleagues several times to NOT put their user into the docker group AND to set the docker command for Claude at least to 'ask every time'.

That fucker circumvents your guardrails all the time. "Oh I'm not allowed to read a .env file with the harness? Let's check cat .env!" Yesterday Claude even wrote a little python script to try to print the .env file, because he thought he'd need it to debug a container. (Spoiler - the problem wasn't even with some env vars and also the .env was just filled with dummy values as it is an example from a public repository anyways).

Soon it will be "Claude wrote a zero day container escape privilege escalation exploit because it was faster than working within the given limitations". I just don't give any LLM file system access
